Roofing fun

We got almost completed with the church today. We got the middle section of the church completed and the roof completed. We got one of the bathroom walls almost to the roof and the other to 9 courses high.

We will finish tomorrow at about noon. We will then come back, clean up and go to Antigua for the afternoon. We will then go to the evangelistic meetings in the evening.

We had a couple of sick team members today. Danielle Wolff, our job site medic, was very sick last night throwing up. She did not go to the job site today and neither did Michelle Bobbitt. Michelle wasn't feeling well and she wanted to take care of Danielle.

Our medical mission was completed yesterday. All of the medicine was dispensed so they did not hold the clinic today. So the medical team members staying with us-Andrea and Jean-that weren't ill went to work at the job site. We were very glad for their help today.

We talked with the pastor today at the job site. We wanted to finalize our plans for our worship service on Sabbath. We typically have worship in the completed church and that is what we were planning on doing. The pastor and elder were concerned about the bathroom situation and wanted to have church again at the hotel. We convinced them to worship at the church and that we would rent a porta-john for the day. The team was extremely glad because the worship service at the completed church is the highlight of the week. We hope all will work out ok.

Guy wanted me to let his family know that he is doing well and misses everyone. Guy is a great member of the team and is by far our best blocklayer.

Since the majority of our team happens to vegetarian, we are having vegetarian food prepared for our meals. Some of the team are not and have been craving meat. Bobby, Diego and John went into town today for lunch and had a steak lunch! Bobby came back very happy. He said that he had been going into "meat withdrawal" this week and that now he was in good shape for the next few days!

We had our worship and are now playing a game of Uno. It seems to be the game of choice for our group. We have so many people playing that we have two games going of 8 people each.

They are typically pretty vocal games with a lot of trash talking and fun. I have been on a losing streak-i have been in second to last place in every game. Bobby hasn't been doing well either-his luck seemed to have to changed since he ate meat-so maybe we have an experiment in the works. He ended up winning the game tonight!

More tomorrow.
